I believe the instructions you posted to hide Home Screen is for the older Telus 4k boxes and interface. If you have the new smaller android based Telus box then there is no way to hide the Home Screen completely. All you can do is push the back button on the remote . It would be nice if Telus could add the option to these new boxes to hide the Home Screen until one actually wants to bring it up.

Yep, I have the newest Android box, that is the only box available for new subscribers.
It does not change the fact there NEEDS to be a way to "only watch tv" there is a large demographic of users who only want regular basic TV, elderly, cognative challenged users who are frustrated with the system.
Either provide us an option to use an older "TV focused" set top box. Or a switch to turn off all the smart features / home screen on the current box.
